It doesnt seem like the card is what you think it is, but will still be a powerful mobile solution.
Its exactly the card I think it is. Its the 6990M. You think I would miss the very clear "a full barts core" bit? What are you?
Nvidia is just waiting for amd to show it's hand then bam just like the 5Xx series crushed amd's cards nvidia will release a faster mobile solution and crush Amd again
You are wrong on this one imo. Nvidia did this with the 485m ->580m when AMD released the 6970m.
Nvidia has very likely NO answer for the 6990m. This generations top mobile gpu is very likely AMDs. We will have to await reviews to be sure. Bombastic statements such as yours are really going to look funny in a few months time.
[The 580M was released at the end of June and uses the full gtx 560 TI gpu (384 cores), so performance comes down to shipping clocks.

Crysis 2 DX11 on GeForce GTX 580M SLI
is this some shameless product plug? The article states exactly how a 580m is clocked relative to a 560ti. 37% slower is the number.
Looking at the charts, again linked trough the article, but provided by AMD, there is as much as 25% difference in performance depending on tests. (AMD numbers etc, disclaimers etc, im not selling (nvidia)cards unlike some other posters on this forum)
This is another case by the way, where they both claim, they are the fastest.
Nvidia released first, so their claim was true at the time, and now AMD is releasing this part, and according to the slide shown ,in those games/settings they claim the fastest.
The naming from a dual-gpu desktop card to a single mobile gpu part is fail IMO.
But criticism for all mobile naming is probably the norm.
AMD marketting is doing great imo. Calling this generations mobile gpu king, the same as this generations dualgpu king, is just win and should help sales and thus provide competition across the board.
People like us know that basicly all mobile parts are not what they are called, but variations of the mid-to-high end gpu solutions found in desktop computers, i.e. 68xx series and 460/560 series.
Any argument about the average joe is basicly wasted in a marketting landscape. Look at the outrageous prices Nvidia has charged and is still charging for a slight lead in the single gpu desktop graphics market... I mean, it must feel pretty silly to have someone buy hardware for half the price you did and yet it competes and even beats your more expensive setup.
Generally speaking, mobile gpu naming from Nvidia and AMD is really horrible imo.
[If you can sell your product for $xx rather than $yy, then sell at the price the market is willing to pay and just rake in all the extra profits. It seems NV customers are much more price inelastic and are willing to pay $350 extra for 5-10% performance increase.
NV's marketing team should get bonuses every quarter.
This is very true. Dont forget there are people and forum posters on hardware forums like these, that help Nvidias marketting by maintaining a false and repeated image of superior products by this firm.
AMD is catching up in marketting. Calling the likely new king of mobile GPUs, the
6990M, is great marketting. They know they have the superior Dual GPU card on the market and are capitalizing on that fact with this mobile card. People will buy into that, especially if they get a better product at a lower cost. As a side effect, it really makes Nvidias greedy nature stand out.
Re: "im not selling (nvidia)cards unlike some other posters on this forum"
Member callouts, even general one's lacking specificity of the implicated individuals, are not acceptable.
It adds zero value to your post and merely serves to add division and animosity to the forum atmosphere.
